Default Put my car on a dyno today...

I was a little dissapointed though. The runs were done at about 5 in the afternoon with the temps in the low to mid 90's. My third and best run showed 376rwhp and 376.3rwtq. Is this the norm with my mods? I was hoping for a little higher. I did run a 12.4 @ 112.x a month or so ago with nothing changed except for the rockers. My best run was with the cutout capped too. I uncapped it for the second pull, but put down 373.6rwhp and 372rwtq. I scanned all three pulls and would post them up, but have no idea how to do it. Would anyone host them for me?

Edit: Now I'm a little worried since I just saw a graph in another post and the line was very smooth as the rpms rise. On mine, they have some small peaks all over the place. Is this normal?

i thing you might be 10 short on the dyno, not a big deal, but i would suggest working on the launch or shifting a bit more. you are going the same time with the cam that i went without the cam, but i did have some gears.
what did your a/f run on the pulls

The graph doesn't show my a/f ratio on it, but it has been tuned. Yeah, I can see how you ran that time without the cam. I'm a little scared of launching too hard and having to take my car home on a trailer.

Your sig doesn't say you have a LS6 Intake, if you don't i would say those numbers are where they should be.

Yeah, I still have the stock ls1 intake. I've been trying to decide if the LSX intake is worth it or not, and hoping for the prices to go down, but that's highly unlikely. I guess I'll just slap on a LS6 intake in the near future. How do I post my dyno graph so you guys can see the spikes I'm talking about?

Hey smokin 01 when you say you were going the same time w/o a cam but with gears, was that the 4.56s and how are they on the street with just boltons in an M6. BTW i have a McCleod SDK clutch awaiting install, what clutch are you using. Also i saw your car at SBSO and it looks almost like mine but with all the mods i need HAHA. I was standing there with my girlfriend when you hat to cut the wheel wells for you 28" so that leads to how would 4.56 be with 26" tires(et streets) Thanks , Robert

I'd be pretty damned impressed if my car pulled 376 with the LS1 intake. You should gain another 10-15 rwhp after adding the intake manifold.

I finally figured out how to post up a pic! I know it's from a while back, but does anything look weird to you guys?

It appears on that dyno, it was STD corrected?? Almost all the ones you see on here will be SAE corrected. STD is a little bit higher then the SAE if I remember right.
